A method that includes receiving, via processing circuitry of a server, a unique identifier having encoded data included in a reference patch embedded in displayed data received by an electronic device, the electronic device being instructed to display the displayed data in a first layer of the electronic device, the server being inaccessible by the first layer of the electronic device; identifying an identity of a user based on the unique identifier of the reference patch; upon determining the user is authorized to receive the secondary digital content, transmitting the secondary digital content to the electronic device; and instructing the electronic device to display the secondary digital content in a second layer of the electronic device, the server being accessible by the second layer of the electronic device, the first layer of the electronic device being different from the second layer of the electronic device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the reference patch includes a secure session token, and the processing circuitry is further configured to receive the secure session token with the unique identifier of the reference patch.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to identify the identity of the user based on the unique identifier and the secure session token of the reference patch.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine whether the user is authorized to receive the secondary digital content corresponding to the user identity based on the unique identifier and the secure session token.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the unique identifier includes a screen position within an available area of a display of the another device for the another device to display the secondary digital content in the second layer of the another device.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein the encoded data identifies the secondary digital content and a location address of the secondary digital content.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein the encoded data is decoded by using a convolution neural network (CNN)-based decoder of the electronic device.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the reference patch includes a secure session token, and the method further comprises receiving, via the processing circuitry of the server, the secure session token with the unique identifier of the reference patch.
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising identifying, via the processing circuitry of the server, the identity of the user based on the unique identifier and the secure session token of the reference patch.
11. The method of claim 10, further comprising determining, via the processing circuitry of the server, whether the user is authorized to receive the secondary digital content corresponding to the user identity based on the unique identifier and the secure session token.
12. The method of claim 8, wherein the unique identifier includes a screen position within an available area of a display of the electronic device for the electronic device to display the secondary digital content in the second layer of the electronic device.
13. The method of claim 8, wherein the encoded data identifies the secondary digital content and a location address of the secondary digital content.
14. The method of claim 8, wherein the encoded data is decoded by using a convolution neural network (CNN)-based decoder of the electronic device.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the reference patch includes a secure session token, and the method further comprises receiving, via the processing circuitry of the server, the secure session token with the unique identifier of the reference patch.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16, wherein the method further comprises identifying, via the processing circuitry of the server, the identity of the user based on the unique identifier and the secure session token of the reference patch.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 17, wherein the method further comprises determining, via the processing circuitry of the server, whether the user is authorized to receive the secondary digital content corresponding to the user identity based on the unique identifier and the secure session token.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the unique identifier includes a screen position within an available area of a display of the electronic device for the electronic device to display the secondary digital content in the second layer of the electronic device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the encoded data identifies the secondary digital content and a location address of the secondary digital content.
